"Even now the intensity of his dread power can be felt, weakening the body and saddening the heart. Ultimately they will become empty, mindless spectres stripped of will and soul..."This is a mono-black reanimator deck that is all about big mana and big creatures. Everyone's favorite antagonist, Volrath the Fallen, can facilitate this in a couple different ways: there are enough voltron pieces to try and alpha-strike with commander damage and he can also fuel your reanimation engines. More often he does the latter or is played to bait boardwipes. The deck features a plethora of tutors to stay one-step ahead of your enemies and a boardwipe suite to keep the field clear and the graveyards brimming.

I'm currently debating removing Ascendant Evincar for Sepulchral Primordial and something for Nirkana Revenant. If you have any other suggestions they would be appreciated. Keep in mind I'm not going all-in voltron (it can be hard to kill the whole table with him), it's just an option.
